Chemical luminescence apparatus

Abstract

A chemical luminescence apparatus comprises a tube container, having an open top, which contains a first chemical luminous liquid and an ampul which in turn contains a second chemical luminous liquid, chemically reactive with the first chemical luminous liquid for producing a luminescent reaction product, wherein the open top of the tube container is hermetically sealed by a cap at a lower portion of such cap. At the upper surface of the cap is formed a groove to which upstanding walls of a mount member, a stand member, or a coupler are detachably mounted, thereby enabling not only wide range uses of the apparatus, but also enabling maintenance operation, such as exchange of parts, to be easily performed.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A chemical luminescence apparatus, comprising: a tube container having an open top, said tube container containing a first chemical luminous liquid and an ampul, said ampul containing a second chemical luminous liquid chemically reactive with said first chemical luminous liquid for forming a luminescent reaction material;   a cap hermetically sealing said open top; and   a snap on mount member having an engaging portion, said mount member being snappably detachable onto said cap.   
     
     
       2. A chemical luminescence apparatus, comprising: a tube container having an open top, said tube container containing a first chemical luminous liquid and an ampul, said ampul containing a second chemical luminous liquid chemically reactive with said chemical luminous liquid for forming a luminescent reaction liquid;   a cap hermetically sealing said open top at a lower portion of said cap, said cap having a groove, elongated in a diametrical direction thereof, at an upper portion thereof, said groove being partitioned by a connecting member having an aperture therethrough; and   a mount member including an engaging portion at an upper portion of said mount member and a plural of upstanding walls at a lower portion of said mount member, said upstanding walls being engaged with said connecting member and fitted in said groove, wherein said upstanding walls having a detent to be fitted in said aperture of said connecting member.   
     
     
       3. A chemical luminescence apparatus, comprising: a tube container having an open top, said tube container containing a first chemical luminous liquid and an ampul, said ampul containing a second chemical luminous liquid which is chemically reactive with said first chemical luminous liquid and forming a luminescent reaction liquid;   a cap hermetically sealing said open top at a lower portion of said cap, said cap having a groove, elongated in a diametrical direction of said cap, at an upper portion of said cap, said groove being partitioned by a connecting member having an aperture therethrough; and   a mount member, including an engaging portion at an upper portion of said mount member and a mount portion at a lower portion of said mount member, said mount portion being detachably mounted to said aperture of said connecting member, wherein said mount portion has a detent portion.   
     
     
       4. A chemical luminescence apparatus, comprising: a tube container having an open top, said tube container containing a first chemical luminous liquid and an ampul, said ampul containing a second chemical luminous liquid which is chemically reactive with said first chemical luminous liquid for forming a luminescent reaction liquid;   a cap hermetically sealing said open top at a lower portion of said cap portion, said cap having a groove, elongated in a diametrical direction of said cap, at an upper portion of said cap, said groove, partitioned by a connecting member, having an aperture therethrough; and   a mount member including two semicircular hooks rotatably disposed, with respect to a vertical axis, at upper and lower portions, respectively, each of said hooks having a detent strip normally urged to close an opening portion of said hook, wherein one of said hooks inserted into said aperture of said connecting member of said cap, thereby detachably mounting said mount member on said cap.   
     
     
       5. A chemical luminescence apparatus as recited in claim 1, 2, 3, or 4, wherein said engaging portion comprises a hook. 
     
     
       6. A chemical luminescence apparatus as recited in claim 1, 2, 3, or 4, wherein said engaging portion comprises a clip. 
     
     
       7. A chemical luminescence apparatus as recited in claim 1, 2, 3, or 4, wherein said mount member is made of a material more rigid than the material of said tube container. 
     
     
       8. A chemical luminescence apparatus as recited in claim 3, wherein said detent portion comprises a detent pawl. 
     
     
       9. A chemical luminescence apparatus as recited in claim 3, wherein said detent portion comprises a split portion at the tip portion of said detent portion. 
     
     
       10. A chemical luminescence apparatus as recited in claim 2, wherein said detent of one of said upstanding walls of said mount member, said stand member, and said coupler includes a locking strip for preventing release thereof from said cap. 
     
     
       11. A chemical luminescence apparatus as recited in claim 1, 2, 3, or 4 wherein said tube container is made of transparent material.
